A. If the city manager finds that the maintenance of any bench would tend to obstruct passage along any public way or to create a hazard or would otherwise be detrimental to the public safety, welfare or convenience, he or she shall not issue any permit which specifies such bench and if a permit has been issued specifying such bench, the city manager shall require such bench to be removed from its location and unless another location may be found, the permit shall be revoked as to such bench.

B. Any permit may be revoked, or renewal thereof denied, for any violation of the provisions of this chapter, for any fraud or misrepresentation in the application, or for any reason which would have been grounds for denial of the application.

C. If the abutting owner withdraws his consent to the continued maintenance of any bench, and gives written notice thereof to the city manager, then, at the expiration of the current term of the permit, any renewal of the permit shall not permit the maintenance of such bench at the location originally permitted.

D. The application shall be denied if the applicant fails to deposit the annual fee and accept the permit within ten days after notice of the approval of the application by the city manager.

E. Any permit issued under this chapter shall be canceled and revoked if the permittee fails to install the bench within sixty days after the date of the issuance of the permit.

F. The application shall be canceled and denied, or the permit revoked, as the case may be, if sixty percent of the property owners and/or tenants living or having their place of business within two hundred feet of the location of said bench or benches protest the same. (Prior code § 7.06.040)
